Selections From Our Exchanges. Treatment of Contused Wounds. S. 1). i'owell, in a clinical lecture published in the Post-Graduatc, gives the following concerning the treatment of the crushed, lacerating and mutilating wounds caused by machinery: "Do not make the mistake of cutting off anything. If the end of a finger is hanging on by nothing but a very thin tissue, lay it on and leave it alone. Do not put any stitches. It is bad surgery. You may carry an infection up the hand, and instead of getting a closed wound, you may get infection that may cost the patient his finger, hand or life. Put the limb in a position where it will be quiet, cover it up with gauze and cotton, use a splint, if necessary, to hold the limb in position, and then keep it wet with a two per cent, solution of carbolic acid. Do not put on a tight bandage. Then the time will come when the tissue that you tought was gone will be good tissue.—Ibid. Treatment of Absesses. M. Porsz, of Budapest, explains that if any one has once used a 2 to 5 per cent, solution of nitric acid in treatment of abscesses, he will never treat them in other way, as the effects are so satisfactory. He first evacuates the pus and then injects the solution with a urethral syringe as forcibly as possible. The abscess cavity becomes distended with the fluid which penetrates into every crevice and seems to stimulate the tissues in their work of repair after the germs in the lesion are killed by the action of the acid. In very deep buboes ii: may be necessary to repeat the injection daily, but healing is usuallv complete after two injections. The severest cases are healed in a week in his experience. — Klinisch-Thcrap. IVochft., X., No. 33, 1903. Care of Catheters. Nothing is more annoying than to be prepared to use a catheter and find it unfit, dangerous, or totally useless. Yet many practicians treat their catheters less carefully than they polish (or fail to polish ) the nickle plating on their instruments. With perfect care, a catheter will last a long time, and will always be in condition for immediate use 1. Immediately after use hold the instrument in running boiling water for three minutes, and make certain that the water enters the lumen of the instrument as well as flows along the outer sides. 2. Scrub the instrument with brush and soap and water. 3. Rinse well, and place in a bottle of glycerin, to which a drachm of formal-dehyd has been added to each two ounces of glycerin. 4. When wanted for use, remove from formalized glycerin and rinse well in steril water; lubricate with sweet oil or vaselin. 5. After use, cleanse immediately -and replace in formalized glycerin. 6. If it is inconvenient to keep the catheters in a bottle, clease at once after use, shake well, and hang up in a warm place, by sticking a pin through the head of the distal end; when dry, wrap in strile cloth or paper. Catheters may be conveniently and quickly sterilized by washing in water to which an ounce of formaldehyde has been added to a pint; dry as above.— Mcdical World. The Dangers of The Handkerchief. According to a NewYork paper, the question of welcoming speakers at the recent meeting of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union by the fluttering of handkerchiefs was discussed bv the members.
